Allie has been teaching group classes since she was 18 years old & there is something new to discover about her with every encounter.

Growing up, she worked at a chocolate shop for over ten years, was proposed to on the Eiffel Tower and has dyed her hair every color but green. She loves photography, party planning, organizing & decorating (lucky us!) And she bakes delicious goodies.

She also has an adventurous side, enjoying the polar plunge every year, participating in triathlons, AND working on climbing the highest peak in every state (with only 3 remaining.)

Allie is grateful for Sandpoint Hot Yoga and her fellow instructors. Come try a Hot Pilates or a Vinyasa class with her.

Kerri wanted to be a fighter pilot growing up. She also wanted to be a geologist, writer, rock star, and dolphin. She became a ski bum and yoga teacher instead & loves it.

In her less adventurous years, Kerri is passionate about growing veggies, home improvement, and always has a dog by her side Any attempt to perform a pretty yoga pose on a beach ends in chaos. Yoga, music & mother nature keeps her sane.

"Music has the charms to sooth the savage beast" -William Congreve 1697

Meet Toshi, out music minded maker
of motivational movements!
From his earliest days Toshi has been
deeply engaged with music on multiple
levels.

Though performing and writing
music have played roles...discovering
listening and sharing deep cuts have
always held his primary focus. As a
result, Toshi's playlists are never short
of inspirational as he seamlessly
weaves from traditional Hindu/Indian
stylings, into the likes of Pink Floyd,
The Cure, and No Doubt in a way that
uplifts and elevates the vibrations
within the room.

Meet Julie, she has no pictures of herself alone. Her goal is to generously see the best in everyone. Her loyalty runs deep to LSU. The only thing she would change about herself is a longer achilles tendon.

Running marathons, climbing glaciers & playing D1 soccer has been nothing compared to raising her 2 kids, one with an autoimmune disorder. Julie has dealt with this challenge with incredible compassion and grace...she often jokes about herself as chronically "looking tired" but what she goes through on a daily basis would knock most of us out of the race. Not Julie!

She continues to show up to teach hot yoga, keeps up with her profession as a therapist, and travels the country for treatments for her kiddo. And usually listens to all of our problems instead of talking about her own. We see you and love you Jules.

As a native of Key West, FL, Cheri is a salt water conch. She’s lived in 11 cities/towns in 7 states, now residing in her dream house in Cocolalla. She’s passionate about learning as many healing arts as she can, loves making finely detailed art work, enjoys making all sorts of food and eating it, likes to fall down rabbit holes of research, has the sense of humor of a 13 year old boy and loves stupid jokes. She swears like a sailor and talks to rocks and trees (and they talk back!)

When we hold a pose for a longer period, we bring the stretch to the yin tissues, which are the deeper tissues such as the tendons, fascia, ligaments, and the other connective body tissues. Our yin tissues are less vascular (supplied with blood) and elastic, and therefore need more time to stretch. When stretched regularly, it increases the overall flexibility, circulation, and range of motion in the joints and ligaments.

Our Christmas special for Sunday is extra Yin with Noelle. 6pm come give your fascia some ❤️💚

Our 3rd day of Christmas special is a bonus Hot 26 tag team class - Friday at 4:15.

Hot yoga teaches us that we are responsible for ourselves, our health, our thoughts, our feelings and provides us with a tool through which we can develop this responsibility. It gives us the chance to deal with our emotions, thoughts, even pain and sometime discomfort. Sounds fun to us!
